Road verges are refuges for small mammal populations in extensively managed M...
Understanding how roads affect the persistence of animal populations is one of the challenges of road ecology. Small mammals are of great interest on account of their value as... -
Motorway verges: paradise for prey species? A case study with the European ra...
Roads have many effects on the mammal populations of their surroundings. Prey species are thought to establish dense populations in road verges due to a predation release... -
Bats and invertebrates provide evidence of ecoducts’ role as key elements of ...
Large overpasses, called ecoducts or green bridges, are considered one of the best options for providing ecological connections across linear transport infrastructures. In... -
Identification of strategic corridors for restoring landscape connectivity: a...
The conservation or creation of ecological corridors is a key to support species persistence in fragmented landscapes. However, little guidance exists on where to concentrate... -

Bird roadkill occurences in Aragon, Spain. The increase in road networks and vehicular traffic has posed a major threat to vertebrates over the last century. Although it is... -
How many rodents die on the road? Biological and methodological implications ...
Some small mammal species use road verges as a habitat for sheltering. As a result, their populations suffer mortality from roadkill in an unknown extent. We analysed the road... -

Informe provisional del seguimiento de la mortalidad de vertebrados en las ca...
On a weekly basis, five local and one national roads were surveyed. Moreover, data on other roads were collected. Birds were the most affected taxa (53%. Passer domesticus,... -
Factors determining roadkills in a mammal carnivore are road type specific.
Carnivores are one of the most affected taxa by roadkill of their high mobility searching for food, mate or territory. We compared 85 polecat roadkills in highways with 73... -
Ungulate: vehicle collision rates are associated with the phase of the moon.
The phase of the moon can affect activity patterns of nocturnal animals, and may also affect visibility for motorists. However, surprisingly little is known about whether the... -
